I have a 386/40 and a 486 EISA system that sometimes boot in mono mode instead of color. Any idea why that would be? The CMOS seems to keep its settings and the time is correct.
I missed it too. :-(
However, the Apple 30th anniversary event that occurred that is documented
at the digibarn web site!
http://www.digibarn.com/history/06-11-4-VCF9-Apple30/index.html
Audio of the event is available with introductory slide show and lots of
photos are available there. Streaming Video coming soon. DVD for sale now.
Very cool.

Hi everyone,
I have followed this list for some time now.
I collect, restore and repair Motorola MVME computers.
I'm just wondering can I find some help or (MVME)friends in here.
For example, does anyone have/know about a MVME360 SMD disk controller.
Motorola docs and OS's (System V/68) support it.
Never seen one though.
I have controllers and disks for MFM, ESDI and SCSI
and now I'm looking for SMD controller and disks.
BR,
Matti.

It's small, like a shoebox.

Looks very cool and I am tempted to get one,
but just how big is the DC1 V2.0 when assembled?

All D shell connectors are not size B, only those with 25 pins - the
proper designation being DB-25. The 15 pin versions are DA-15 and
DE-15 (the latter being the three row version). The 37 and 50 pin
versions are DC-37 and DD-50 respectively.
Size-wise, besides the "standard" D-subminiature connectors are HD,
micro, and nano variants.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature> has an excellent
rundown on the various flavors (flavours) and variants of these
connectors.

Ive got a bunch of 8bit floppy controllers and some memory expansion cards,
as well as some 16bit full length memory expansion cards too. If interested,
LMK.
Hello,
on the web I found the interesting web page
of www.oddmix.com. Here interesting vintage
stuff can be found (most is off topic for
this group). Among these was the Cosmac
CDP 18S021 Microterminal - new and unused.
So I bought one of these and from Karl Nagy,
who manages oddmix and is a very kind and
interesting person, I got the Manual for
the Micro Terminal (MPM224) as well. He sold
me a copy of the desired Manual for the
Cosmac 1802 Evaluation Kit Rev 2 as well,
too.
So the problem is solved - thanks a lot,
happy computing,
Erik.
